The DMC-LX5 features a large 1/1.63-inch, 10.1-megapixel ultra-sensitive CCD. It
achieves high resolution, noise-less pictures even in high sensitivity recording
and richly reproduced gradation in highly contrasted situations with the
exquisitely wide dynamic range. In addition, the CCD in DMC-LX5 can reproduce
images shot with the lens set from 24mm to 90mm in any of three aspect ratios;
4:3, 3:2 or 16:9, so you can always capture dynamic, richly expressive shots
with a wide perspective.
With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas ¨C outlines, detailed texture
areas and soft gradation areas ¨C are automatically detected. Apart from the
uniform enhancement of sharpness, this technology precisely performs signal
processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way according to the area. As a
result, images are clear and crisp in both photos and movies. The Intelligent
Zoom extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the image quality even
combining a digital zoom. A 3.8x optical can virtually extend to 5x equivalent.
The DMC-LX5 can record HD movie in AVCHD Lite with high sound quality of Dolby
Digital Creator. Motion JPEG format is also available (1,280 x 720 pixels). Just
press the Motion Picture Button, and shooting begins. In the Creative Movie
Mode, the shutter speed and aperture can be adjusted. The iA Mode can also be
activated in motion picture recording. When the DMC-LX5 is connected to a
Panasonic VIERA via an optional mini HDMI cable, the TV's remote control unit
can be used to enjoy playing back with greater convenience.
The excellent manual controllability is the advantage of DMC-LX5. The jog dial
enhances the operability together with the focus switch relocated on the lens
barrel. The My Colour Mode and Film Mode make it easy to customize colour
effects to match your preference. The DMC-LX5 also features a 3.0-inch LCD with
460,000-dot high resolution and a wide range of optional accessories to choose
from to match your shooting situations and style, including view finders,
filters and external flashes.
